137 War resumed

Magic seems to have suddenly become theology, but to say that magic and other blue rites can barely be regarded as a general concept, after all, not to mention anything else, all kinds of fantasy novels in the previous life always describe magic, all kinds of things, all kinds of brain holes.

But God ......

Lan Li scratched his head at this.

When he was at Storm's End, he asked Bachelor Clison about magic, and he replied that it was a useless subject that few people in Old Town were proficient in, and that the few Masters who chose to study it were generally ridiculed.

The Old Town was already a concentration of knowledge in Westeros, and there were not many people there who had mastered it, not even in the castle of the High Court.

But he couldn't understand it when he read the book on his own.

Originally, I thought that learning this science, combined with the special power of my left hand, might have some strange chemical reactions, but now it seems that this road is not going to work at all.

If he can't read it, even if he can read those books, he can't run to worship any gods......

Lan Li finally had no choice but to give up and began to focus on other places.

Learn knowledge, etiquette, perform and play, and occasionally activate your left hand to see if you can stimulate different experimental materials. His life in the High Court was uneventful and fulfilling, but after living here for nearly three months, he suddenly heard strange news.

……

It was a gloomy afternoon, in the outer hall of the castle, when a scout reported to Duke Tyrelll, who was sitting on an oak chair in the hall, and his words made the young duke stroke the ruby ring on his left hand unconsciously, and then repeated the question.

"How many Iron Folk longships have attacked Fairy Island?"

"Yes, sir." Dressed in leather armor, the dusty scout replied, "But there are not many of them, and they just took advantage of the chaos to rob some possessions and women and retreated in a hurry, without causing much damage to the locals." ”

Fairy Island is a fief in the west called the Faman family, which is not too far from the Kaiyan City of the Lannister family, and is naturally protected by the Lannister fleet, but at this time, the people of the Iron Islands dare to attack......

The dozen or so people in the neat hall looked at each other, and they really couldn't understand why this behavior occurred.

"It's so presumptuous!"

"Do those iron bastards think the current era is three hundred years ago? Can they do whatever they want to do with the so-called ancient path? ”

"I'd love to see what that lion should do with this......"

The knights and retainers under his command were talking about it, and the first Duke also groaned about it, and his mind unconsciously recalled his mother's words a while ago and what he did later.

But that shouldn't be the case......

"How could they be so crazy?"

He couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Baron has a rebellious heart?" ”

"Our guilt should come to report that this should be the captain of the attacker who did it privately." The scout replied, "It is said that King Baron is also angry about this. ”

A retainer with a black beard nodded when he heard this, and said, "Baron. Greyjoy had not yet secured his position in the sea stone, and it was impossible for him to provoke the West at will at this juncture. ”

"But since His Majesty Robert ascended the throne, no one in the Iron Islands has come to swear allegiance." Another noted: "Balon should have gone to King's Landing and bowed his knee to the new king, but he didn't." ”

"Maybe he's really rebellious?"

Garth, the head of the High Court standing beside the duke, spoke: "What those iron mongrels are thinking about all day long is to restore their ancient path, but they don't know that the current era is different from the past, and that kind of forcible plunder without law has no possibility at all, provoking the unified seven kingdoms?" It's justβ€”oops. ”

Before he could finish his sentence, he let out a loud fart, and the entire chamber fell silent, and everyone reacted quickly to close their mouths, or suppressed their breath and looked up at the ceiling.

Gars, the head of the High Court, was the uncle of the young duke, nicknamed Fat, with a round face and a big fat belly, and his stomach was not very good, and he couldn't help but fart, and everyone was used to it, and the parties did not smile without the slightest embarrassment.

So the atmosphere remained dull and tacit, until the wind blowing outside the hall swept away the stench, and no one continued to speak.

"He has that mind, but I'm afraid he doesn't have that spare energy."

Blackbeard's retainer said, "The Iron Islands have recently popped up with a group of crazy drowning people, claiming to be holy warriors under the command of the son of the drowned gods, and they believe that submitting to the Iron Throne is a shame for all the Iron Races, and the Greyjoy family who surrendered to the Targaryen during the War of Conquest is a shame within the shame, so they are calling on the Iron People to rebel against Greyjoy and the Iron Throne." In this case, it is unlikely that Greyjoy will be resentful. ”

"Son of the Drowning God?"

Although not everyone studies history, let alone the history of the Iron Islands, as the saying goes, the people who know you best may be your enemies, and the nobles of the Riverlands are exactly the ones who have a thousand-year feud with the Iron Islands.

"That's a figure from hundreds of years ago?" The fat head of the High Court said amusedly: "Even if you are an old iron bastard, it is impossible to follow the liar who died more than two hundred years ago, are they crazy?" ”

"Maybe I'm really crazy, otherwise how would I attack Fairy Island?"

"Iron is crazy."

……

The black-haired boy didn't listen carefully to some of the discussions that followed, and instead bowed his head and groaned as he stood quietly to the duke's right hand with the brown-haired boy.

Although a long time has passed, he has only experienced three copies, so it is naturally impossible to forget his first time.

It can even be said that he also personally "obliterated" the son of the drowning god who fooled people.

In the original history, the son of the drowned god was also beheaded in the era of King Inis, and he also died a good death.

It's just that it was nearly three hundred years ago, and now how can he, or his followers, still pop up?

"This kind of thing happened in the original plot development?"

Lan Li carefully recalled the memories of his past life.

Aside from his post-reincarnation education and experience, he probably only knew about the Iron Islands as a eunuch and a psychopath, and with the Greyjoy family eunuchs raised in the North, he could barely remember that the Iron Islands seemed to have started a rebellion against the Baratheon dynasty.

But he doesn't know exactly how this rebellion happened, and the process of the period, obviously his golden finger is not Baidu Encyclopedia, because some memories of his previous life after reincarnation are quite vague, he even thought about one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal for a long time before he remembered it (and then the development failed), not to mention the world background setting of an unfinished TV series.

In the end, he didn't get an answer to this question, and in the end he could only classify it as something that would have happened in this world. However, for some reason, Lan Li always had an inexplicable sense of immediacy in his heart, as if something was wrong.

"Where......" He pondered, but couldn't come up with a reason.

……

In the days after the attack on Fairy Island, the situation on the entire continent was turbulent, but it had little effect on someone in the castle, and it was nearly a month before he stumbled upon a related news.

It is said that King Baron of the Iron Islands wrote a letter to King Robert on the Iron Throne, claiming that he could not fully control his vassals due to civil strife in the Iron Islands, but that he had personally beheaded the captain and crew of the plundering Fairy Island.

At the same time, he claimed that he would do as long as the rebellion was crushed by King Robert's order to go to King's Landing to take the oath of allegiance.

It seems that the new Iron King is quite honest, and he doesn't seem to have any intention of rebelling against the Iron Throne.

However, in the fifth month after Lan Li arrived in the High Court, a news that everyone did not expect spread like a stormy wave, quickly spreading throughout Westeros.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, the Iron Islands' vast fleet sailed into the coastal territory of the Lannister House in the West, raided the important city of Lannister Harbor, and burned a large number of ships moored outside the harbor!

As a result, the Western Navy was abolished, and large swaths of the coastline were left undefended, leaving the gates wide open, and the Iron Folk began to use their ancient ways at will, and the smoke of war swept everyone off guard!
